Main Hub
RAU
The Main Hub receives downlink RF signals
from a base station via coaxial cable
The Main Hub converts the RF signals to IF, then
to optical signals and sends them to Expansion
Hubs (up to four) via optical fiber cable.
The Expansion Hub converts the optical sig-
nals to electrical signals and sends them to
RAUs (up to eight) via Cat-5/6 cable.
The RAU converts the IF signals
to RF and sends them to passive
antennas via coaxial cable.
